n. (Educational Testing Service) A white-collar corporate gang in Ewing, New Jersy, headed by Kurt Landgraf. They peddle the SAT and GRE assessment products on the street to vulnerable youths who don't know how to say NO. A greedy parasite that should be eliminated for the betterment of society. See also: Tollbooth on the highway of education.
Those poor students had to pony up $115 to the ETS in order to get admitted to college.

"Estimated Time of Sleep" abbreviated.
Akin to ETA (estimated time of arrival), etc.
Sounds more official and professional when said aloud.
Usually posed as a question toward someone who --despite the late hour-- still has a lot of things to get done before even thinking about going to bed.

Friend1: "What are you doing up so late?"
Friend2: "I'm working through a 10-page paper that's due tomorrow and just started a load of laundry."
Friend1: "So what's your ETS tonight?"
Friend2: "Aiming for 4 AM, have to get to work by 10."
"ETS unknown; imminent all nighter..."

1. Stand for Evil Testing Satan! (or, if you want to be correct, Educational Testing Service. They make such crap as the SAT and others like it. Although a universal and standardized test is needed, surely there can be something better than the SAT. (The ACT is made by another company so it is much better but it could use some work too, although not nearly the same amount)

The shorter name for Enhanced Traction System used on cars to lower torque to the drive wheels allowing for more traction by using the ABS censors to read the speed of the wheels, if one slips it lowers the torque overall. It has a variety of ways to reduce torque by inhibiting the firing of the spark plug, cutting the amount of fuel to the combustion chamber, and/or up shifting. Also saves on gas a bit but, to me, seems to slow the cars acceleration. I could be wrong.
An engine brake in a semi inhibits the firing of the pistons like the ETS in a car. Fuel cutter is like when hitting the max speed a speed governor will allow, it cuts fuel only the ETS is more subtle. The up shifting should be obvious, it lowers rpm thereby lowering torque.
